4 over 5 is a fraction.  So.......that would be this fraction ------> 4/5. 

4/5 is a  not a whole number. it's 80% to a whole number. So if you convert it into a decimal form, you would get 0.8.

Okay, we know that \(\frac{5}{5}\) is equal to 1. Now if we divide 1 by 5 to see how many times 5 can go into 1 we see that 1÷5 or \(\frac{1}{5}\) = .2

So every \(\frac{1}{5}\) is equal to .2

Now we can multiply the .2 by 4 to see what \(\frac{4}{5}\) is equal to because \(\frac{1}{5} *4= \frac{4}{5}\)

And 4 * .2= .8

Hope this helped! :)
